In the sixth edition of the "Gold Medal Comedy Class" on March 20, the Indah Tutor Class was held. Beijing TV host Cao Yang, Chi Chi (Wang Xuedong), Da Bing, former Taiwanese men's group Flywheel Hai member Wang Dongcheng, Happy Twist actor Han Yunyun, actor Li Ying, Tianci, cross-talk actors Li Ding and Dong Jianchun, Shanghai Theater Academy puppet students competed in the same stage, and in the end, Da Bing, Li Ying and Tianci regretted to be out.
Indah instructors took the students directly into the practical exercises, the studio restored the set of "I Love My Home" that year, and the students voluntarily chose the characters in the play for fragment performances. Among them, Instructor Yingda talked about Ge You's performance: "Ge You's performance has many techniques, some methods seem to be invisible, but in fact, there are many intermediate skills,...... Several of you have done the action, but there is no feeling. ”
Some students said: "I like to be able to listen to Mr. Yingda face to face with his insights and handling of every detail. ”
The first group of pks was: Beijing TV host Cao Yang and Zhao (Wang Xuedong) performed the sketch "Meet your father-in-law" and the sketch "PayIng Off the Debt" performed by Dabing.
"Meet your father-in-law" tells the story of the car driving a car who knocked down an old man (Cao Yang) who was riding a retrograde bicycle, and the old man's expensive liquor and mobile phone were broken, and he thought that the old man was touching porcelain, which made the uncle feel very wronged. Therefore, in order to prove that he was not touching the porcelain, the old man called the police, and he wanted to slip away when he saw it.
The old man pretended to let the beak drink, but actually gave the beak a drink, so that if the beak fled by car, he would become a drunk driver. Although chirping was angry, he had to wait in the same place. At this time, the old master's daughter appeared, and only then did he realize that it was the future father-in-law who had never met him.
Mentor Yingda commented: "The performance of the two, especially Cao Yang, we must not only shake the baggage, but also get the characters out, otherwise it is not completely comedy." He (Cao Yang) created a character, and we fully believe in this old man. In response to The Performance, Mentor Yingda said: "Now you are still yourself, and next, you must work hard to create different characters." ”
Mentor Chen Peisi commented: "Very clean works of a small structure, without any gimmicks of leaving and arranging flowers, are performing characters, which is particularly good." ”
Xiaocao believes that this work uses "coincidence" - it happens to be the future father-in-law who is hit, creating a comedic effect. Cao Yang's performance, from expression and language to action, shows the image of an old man very well. Most of the time the performance of the chirp is facing the audience from the side, and does not pay attention to communication with the audience.
In addition, the lines of the chirp are sometimes flattened and the speed of speech does not change much, such as a string of words said by the chirp when he learned that the old man cheated himself into drinking: "You are a little scorpion who grows peppers - poisonous and spicy; you are a fox when you are glued to the hair, you are a monkey when you shed your hair, you are a wolf in sheep's clothing, in short, you are not a person", just say these words quickly but there is no rhythm change, and the sense of comedy is weakened.
The sketch "Paying off the Debt" performed by Dabing tells that Zhou Zong's father left a will for him to pay back ten thousand yuan and a lighter for himself, thinking that his father wanted to leave the money to his extramarital lover. Mr. Zhou lit a lighter and traveled back to his father's youth, knowing that his father was in debt to treat himself, he knew that he had misunderstood his father and repaid the ten thousand yuan he owed for his father. When his father lit the lighter, Mr. Zhou returned to reality.
Mentor Yingda said: "This work is complete, and there are fewer places where comedy can be hilarious." ”
Mentor Chen Peisi said: "It is very wise to cross back with a lighter, and this story shows two spaces folded up, the ethical relationship begins to be misaligned, and there are many misunderstandings in this misalignment." Without going down the article on this top, it is not right to simply go forward with a parallel thing. ”
Xiaocao believes that this work is somewhat deficient in the excavation of baggage. A son travels back to his father's youth and suddenly becomes a contemporary of his father, and this mutation can create joy, for example, Zhou Zong can have multiple reactions - or excitement, or surprise, or inability to adapt, and may be called "Daddy" when communicating with the young father.
However, in the work, after Zhou Zong crossed, he did not show his strange feelings and reactions, and immediately switched to his son counting down his father and saying: "Zhou Peiyan..." The work did not grasp the fantasy plot of "crossing" to bring comedic effects to the relationship between father and son, and this is precisely the characteristic of the work, which makes people somewhat regretful.
Students from the to be determined area, Li Ding and Dong Jianchun, and students majoring in puppetry at the Shanghai Theater Academy formed a team to challenge the soldiers and performed the skit "The Towel Thing". Dong Jianchun introduced himself to Li Ding as a towel, and Li Ding thought he had encountered a neurotic. It turned out that Dong Jianchun was the chairman of the towel factory, and he invited Li Ding and towels to perform together. Students majoring in puppetry used three towel puppets and Li Ding to perform word guessing, guessing idioms, and horror stories.
Yingda mentor commented: "Their performance surprised me, although it is still cross-talk, but on the basis of the original cross-talk, there have been many new attempts and breakthroughs. ”
Mentor Chen Peisi commented: "I feel that the form of towel puppets may be more developed, and it should be no problem to open up and go to the plot. ”
Xiaocao thought that the opening part was slightly blunt, in order to lead to the performance of the towel puppet, Dong Jianchun said as soon as he appeared: "You may not believe it when you say it, in fact, I am a towel." "It may be more natural to be introduced here through a scene with a towel, for example, Dong Jianchun and Li Ding use towels in the bathing ground; Dong Jianchun sells towels to Li Ding; Dong Jianchun is the choreographer of the TV station, suffering from the lack of innovative comedy programs, Li Ding recommends using towels to perform, and so on."
Ma Sanli, the master of cross-talk, once said: "To understand the truth of cross-talk, it is necessary to be reasonable and unexpected, so as to find out the baggage... We have to lay the groundwork, to tell the story, a stand-up comedy, two people to talk to each other, although we don't dress up, no accompaniment, let you listen like the real thing. ”
In addition, it is not so funny to repeat the baggage three or four times, for example, when performing a horror story, the three towel dolls walk forward and sing, which is completely opposite to the atmosphere of the horror story and makes the audience feel funny. But this baggage is repeated three or four times, which weakens the sense of joy. There are also plots that don't necessarily fit on the big stage, such as the towel puppet performance of peeing.
Xiaocao believes that towel dolls can be made more attractive, for example, adding hair to towel dolls, putting on clothes, and making limbs more obvious. During the performance, although the towel dolls have red and blue, they are very light, and they can't see it if you don't look closely, and you think it's three white.
The second group of pk is: Wang Dongcheng, Han Yunyun's sketch "Lover's Robbery" and Li Ying's and Tianci's sketch "Journey to the West afterword".
"Lover's Robbery" tells the story of a girl (Han Yunyun) who only cares about appearance and does not care about character, meets the handsome thief played by Wang Dongcheng, the girl falls in love at first sight, does not care that he is a thief, and in order to protect the thief, the girl also slaps three times in a row to the boy who likes herself and looks ordinary.
Teacher Chen Peisi commented: "I think the audience is not wrong, I hope that the stage art is more diverse. I don't reject your show, you all have a particularly strong heart, able to keep gritting your teeth and moving forward with this story that is not flowing at all. In my opinion, I was terrified, I didn't know how to act. One slap, one slap, back and forth. We can not do this, but we must know, to understand. ”
Yingda mentor commented: "There should be higher requirements for Yunyun, from beginning to end is a soup, and it has been played down in one way." Good comedy, when we are acting, we will think in our hearts: what I want to make a job in this piece, what tricks I want to use in this piece, but you have to act hard and work hard to act, and it will be difficult to succeed in this. ”
Xiaocao believes that the highlight of this work lies in the theme and star effect. The sketch satirizes the widespread phenomenon of "appearance is justice" in society. Wang Dongcheng is worthy of being from an idol boy band, and his appearance in space steps made the atmosphere of the scene immediately warm.
And the shortcomings of the work are also very obvious, the story structure is incomplete, the ending is somewhat sloppy, what happened after the thief kidnapped the girl, whether the girl woke up, maybe the length of the show is limited, the story ended without unfolding; the plot setting is biased towards farce rather than comedy, such as the girl's three slaps, the girl and the thief's dance, the actor acted very hard, but it is not a high-quality baggage.
"The Afterword to the West" tells the story of the Supreme Treasure returning to the human world and finding the Zixia Fairy who wants to renew the frontier with her. In order to protect the Purple Xia Fairy, the Supreme Treasure fought with the gangsters and violated the rules of the Heavenly Court and had to return to the Heavenly Court. The Purple Xia Fairy waited bitterly for the Supreme Treasure and waited all her life.
Guo Degang commented: "The last thing you presented is still not the same as what you first expected, and the performance is not so amazing, I hope you will work harder." ”
Xiaocao believes that "Journey to the West" lacks highlights, whether it is performance, baggage quality, dramatic conflict, or star effect, so in the end, "Lover's Robbery" won.
The second stage was successfully concluded, and a total of 17 groups of students successfully advanced. Next week will usher in the class exam, the students in the form of 1v1 competition, Xiaocao wait and see.
